hi guys,

Well i just got most of my project done. A 381w stroked 351w in my 95 mustang. I had one question. I swaped everything over from my 302 engine, all of the front accessories, and everything looks fine and lines up. I used my manual flywheel that i had resurfaced onto the 351w. it bolted right up. the 351w block is from 1968-1974 so i think it's a 28oz whille my 95 302 is a 50oz.... Will everything work out correctly, or will i cause some damage from not having the proper flywheel/dampner???? Can i get a fuild dampener to slove this problem???? Well thanks guys,

Jonathan

Your engine builder balanced the rotating assembly to what? 28oz? This is most common and if so you will need a 28oz flywheel and harmonic balancer, should you use the 50oz stuff it will shake violently and knock out a main bearing in rapid fashion

the engine is balanced to 28oz ithink from stock form. what happened is that it had a flywheel for an automatic, when i have a t-3550 manual trans, i then pulled off my flywheel off the 302 and snaped a blot. I then went and got it resurfaced and got the bolt taken out.i returned and installed the flywheel,clutch, and everything else. So now the engine, clutch/trans is all in the car. So i was wondering if i could just use a 50oz dampner to match the 50oz flywheel that i put in.Can i use a fluid dampner to conteract???? I would just not wantto take it all out agian and have to buy another flywheel. thanks though for all the help.

No the rotating assembly was balanced using 28oz, you can not use a 50oz flywheel and balancer, it will shake violently. You need to buy a 28oz flywheel and balancer
